HOW TO Order 
Safely 
Fill in the order form, or use blank paper, and enclose 
check. You will get prompt acknowledgment. When 
proper shipping time comes, you will get shipment— 
express charges collect. 
Order NOW, we ship at proper time later. Exact 
dates vary year by year, but generally these are safe.

Contact your express agent—he’s human, will co- 
operate in letting you know promptly when trees or 
plants arrive. Don’t let a shipment lie in the express. 
Plant as soon as you can—but if you must wait a 
few days, don’t worry. They are well enough packed 
to stand it if you: Soak the bundle well, keep it from 
(1) heat or frost, (2) drying wind. Better yet, have a 
small hardy garden area of loose, light soil where you 
can heel in bundles—cover roots and parts of tops 
with earth, well watered down. This can be done in 
minutes, and such plants can wait weeks for final plant- 
ing in right places. 
We cannot control weather, drought, flood, 
poor soil, BUT: 
GUARANTEE: IF stock arrives in poor con- 
dition, we will refund all 
part as you think proper. (No need to return 
plants, but claim must be made within 5 days of 
receipt of shipment.) 
INSURANCE: Even if arrival is in good con- 
dition, we will credit you 50% of any losses 
you paid us, or such 
in the first year. This credit you may use to re- 
place the same or other plants, as you wish.

added at actual cost. Usually 5 sold at rate per ten, 
50 at 100 rate. 
ORDER FORM— Printed on back wrapper. 
HOW TO Select the Best Plants 
The greatest danger is choosing a poor variety. Be 
“fussy” about your selections, and you won't be dis- 
appointed a few years later. Read catalog descriptions 
carefully—we try to be frank. Never buy the wrong 
kind because a young plant of it looks nice—or is cheap. 
IF you cannot afford a large size of the right kind, then 
buy a small size and wait a few years. In most trees 
and shrubs there are three sizes: 1. Babies that have to 
be nursed. 2. Transplanted young plants that need only 
a year or two of ordinary growth. 3. Landscape sizes, 
already shaped and filled out. For most gardeners, the 
second size is the most fun and the most economical. 
Some Plants Take Care of Themselves 
There are plants which cannot honestly be said to 
derive any improvement from cultivation. Lists will be 
found at the beginning of each subject.

The biggest thrill in gardening is the unusual—strik-

mon humdrum varieties. Even this book is too small to 
list all we can furnish—write for any size or kind you 
want but don’t see. 
Let Birds Control Your Pests
